Intel is Making a Bunch of AI Tools Available to Researchers and Founders

BY SHACK15 - 20 September, 2017

Intel has gifted Artificial Intelligence researchers with a new set of free tools.

During an AI Conference in San Francisco, the chipmaking giant announced the new Nervana DevCloud, a cloud platform where developers, researchers and startups will be able to experiment with hardware and software tools for their AI projects. The platform’s compute power will be provided by Intel’s Xeon processors.

Access to Nervana DevCloud will be free for members of Intel’s Nervana AI Academy— an online platform offering free courses, tools and mentoring for members interested in learning about AI and machine learning.

VentureBeat highlighted how Intel is following in the footsteps of tech giant Alphabet— which launched the cloud-based TensorFlow Research Cloud just months ago.
